Fannie Mae Q&A: Agency Remains Active Capital Source for Multifamily Borrowers

by John Nelson August 22, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. —The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) recently published that multifamily originations totaled $246.2 billion in 2023, a 49 percent decline compared to 2022 and below its April estimation of $264 billion. Additionally, the Washington, D.C.-based organization said that 51 percent of active lenders made five or fewer multifamily loans last year. While a step back in terms of loan volume, the multifamily sector still stands out relative to other property types as the sector represented more than 60 percent of all commercial real estate loans provided in 2023, according to an MBA report in April. Chris Flynn, senior vice president and multifamily chief underwriter for Fannie Mae Multifamily, says that it’s important to keep that in perspective as all loans for all commercial real estate asset classes declined in 2023. “Multifamily was seen as an attractive asset class among the commercial real estate sectors in 2023 and was viewed as relatively more stable, from an investment perspective, compared to office, retail, and industrial,” says Flynn. The agencies didn’t take any breaks last year as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac combined to generate 42 percent of all 2023 multifamily loans, according to the MBA, which tracks loans made on multifamily …

Trimont Agrees to Acquire Wells Fargo’s Commercial Mortgage Servicing Business

by John Nelson August 22, 2024

ATLANTA AND SAN FRANCISCO — Atlanta-based Trimont has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Wells Fargo’s non-agency third-party commercial mortgage servicing business. The acquisition does not include the San Francisco-based company’s Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac business lines, which Wells Fargo will continue to service, along with the loans remaining on its balance sheet. Värde Partners, a global alternative investment firm, acquired and has owned Trimont through certain funds since 2015. Värde will provide funding for the acquisition, which will enable Trimont to offer servicing across all non-bank commercial real estate lending structures. Following the close of the acquisition, which is expected to occur in early 2025, Trimont will manage more than $715 billion in U.S. and international commercial real estate loans, making the firm the largest commercial real estate loan servicer in the United States. Trimont’s consultants in the transaction include J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (financial advisor), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (general advisory services) and Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, and Trilegal (legal). Wells Fargo Securities LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Wells Fargo, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz served as the company’s legal advisor.
